Jimi! How could you... I'm sure there were those that poo poo'd the introduction of your bracket! Not me though I have one!!
Well I guess all these things are preference related and I think on a stock looking Mk1 I wouldn't... but mine has a few exterior changes and I think it could work for it.
I'm also not sure its cosmetic. It securely bolts to the chassis rails and has the tow eye... Towing would be something that I am now struggling to do (or risking damage to the front bumper) if I was to use either the front crash bar hook or the one underneath.
Plus I would use it to mount my Number plate.. I appreciate thats an expensive way of doing it but If I put the cosmetics, with he towing ability and the number plate mounting then it starts to be a bit more value for money... cough cough
